April 30, 2002 — Monkey Peaches reports:

the Korean version of SHAOLIN SOCCER is only 87 minutes. The original version shown in Hong Kong is 92 minute long and the extended version, including outtake footage, is about 112 minute long. SHAOLIN SOCCER will be shown in the US, Canada, Korea and Japan in May and the same site suspects what will be shown in North America and Japan will be same as the Korean version. According to Hong Kong's Oriental Daily, Stephen Chow was aware of this 87 minute version and was glad to see only 5 minutes of scenes got cut (from the original 92 minute version).
